SELLEST OSAST
’Tis the season for a spooky, scary Halloween episode ! We’re diving into one of the longest-standing stories we’ve told ourselves across cultures and literal centuries: life doesn't end with death, and some part of us will always linger in the form of an otherworldly being…
This week, Alice Griffin and Jannah Anderson are swapping ghost stories and paranormal “experiences” while weighing up the arguments for and against the age-old question: are ghosts real? They dive into the massive industry born around ghost hunting, explore how we emotionally cope with the idea of the supernatural, and of course share their ultimate Halloween watch list recs.
